Our perfume editor Derya Türkan has compiled 5 perfumes for the summer months for Saatolog readers.
As the weather gets warmer, we start to shelve intense and heavy perfumes and prefer more fresh and light perfumes. We have compiled 5 perfumes in different styles that can be used by both ladies and gentlemen on hot summer days and that you should definitely try.
Creed Millesime Imperial
On a hot summer day, you are in a tropical beach town, and you have just come out of the sea. The smell of salt on you, a fruit cocktail mixed with melon and watermelon in your hand, a small umbrella with a slice of lemon on top… As you sip your drink, you face the wind blowing from the sea. That’s exactly the scent of the moment. A fruity, aquatic, slightly salty, slightly sweet bottle of summer…
Millesime Imperial has top notes of sea salt and tropical fruity notes; middle notes of refreshing citrus notes such as Sicilian lemon, bergamot, mandarin and iris; and base notes of fresh sea notes, woody notes and musk.
Diptyque Philosykos
Are you ready to refresh hot summer days with the scent of a fresh, green fig? You are walking through a garden full of fig trees. The slightly sweet juicy figs mingle with the green, fresh, milky and creamy texture of thick fig leaves. Tropical coconut further emphasizes the fruity character of the perfume, while woody notes add depth. If you want to refresh yourself with the freshness of figs and fig leaves, Diptyque Philosykos is one of the most realistic figs perfumes you can use…
Jul Et Mad Aqua Sextius
With Aqua Sextius, you will drift into a refreshing atmosphere on hot summer days with bright citrus, juicy figs, flowers and green forest notes mingling with the light salty breeze of the sea. Reflecting the fresh breath of summer with its citrusy, woody and aquatic identity, Aqua Sextius is inspired by the city of Aix-en-Provence, the hidden paradise of Southern France, where the owners of the brand, Julien and Madalina, married and enjoyed love.
Opening with citrus fruits, especially grapefruit and tea, the fragrance welcomes you with white flowers, fresh sea notes and a fresh fig in the heart notes. The base notes evoke the fresh forest notes of Provence with touches of labdanum, amber, cedar, guaiac wood, oak moss and musk.
Juliette Has A Gun Vanilla Vibes
Inspired by the Burning Man Festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, Vanilla Vibes is based on the combination of two contrasting notes. Opening with sea salt, which brings a metallic shimmer to the creamy sweetness of orchid and vanilla, the perfume melts seamlessly into the wearer’s skin with the resinous air of tonka bean and benzoin and becomes even creamier with musk and sandalwood. An alluring summer vanilla composition balanced with salty notes for those who don’t like citrus perfumes in summer and can’t give up vanilla.
Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt
The savior of hot weather, giving you the fresh breeze of the seaside on a hot day. Wood Sage & Sea Salt opens with the aromatic air of sage mixed with a vibrant grapefruit opening. Then the wind blows and the salt and seaweed of the sea mix with the fragrance of sage. A composition where the smell of the seaweed thrown ashore by the waves mixed with the salty and mineral texture of sea air, sand and stones are rendered with a natural and fresh delicacy. Even if you don’t like salty, aquatic perfumes, this is a perfume that will endear itself to you and refresh your summers.
